Taking this class was a good opportunity for me. I learned so many things throughout the semester that I just can not seem to pick my favorite one. I enjoyed all of the topics especially chapter 15, which tells of the working to support themselves and their families. There are a lot of single parent homes in the United States. Which I find it quite hard to believe, because you think that most people have a two parent household. The chapter that discussed smoking was another interesting topic. I was shocked to see how many women smoke and put their children in danger for the actions they choose to do. And one other topic that I had interest in was the one discussing rape. I was shocked to see that many women do not report rape. I was surprised to see that many of the young girls from Thailand and Vietnamese all do prostitution at an early age. I feel I am very lucky to live in the country that I live in.

Women do not ask to be assaulted. Assaulting can happen in daylight or night time. But the majority of times assaulting occurs during night time. If a woman have to walk at night she need to be on the phone with someone. If she can have someone to walk her to her car or to her house. If at all possible make sure they walk in crowds. They need to have some type of protection, for instance mase, box cutter or something. Whatever a woman possibly can do to make sure she is protected then she needs to make sure she can do it. Especially college women they are now more prone to assault than any other women. And women need to walk in dark areas and try to avoid parking in underground parking.

I think that if a person is a drug addict then they should be in a mandatory drug treatment program. By them going to jail they are not really getting help for their drug problem. They need a program that is going to help them day by day so they can get over this problem. By a person sitting in jail it is not proving a point. They need to be somewhere where they can talk about their problems and get over the fact of them being drug addicts. Some people need someone they can talk to, so they can get things off their chest. Treatment alone can help a person.

If a woman suspects that her friend has an eating disorder then I would try to get them help as soon as possible. No one is going to tell the truth about an eating disorder. If the friend denies it then I would try my best to get her some help. I would watch her carefully to see what type of symptoms she has that way I could give a good description of what changes I am seeing in her. But if the friend denies to get some professional help, I will try to help her out on my own without the doctors. I will be there for her no matter what if she choose to make a change then I will be there. But if she choose to to continue with the disorder then I will be there also. But I will tell her she really needs some help. And I will let her know that is not good for her, to whether she is eating too much or not eating enough.

If everyone lived with their future in mind I do believe that they would think about their future. I think that people would exercise daily. They will make time to exercise so their health can be in good health. If people lived with their future in mind then I feel they would change their eating habits. They would eat the recommended servings of the food guide pyramid. They would eat more fruits and vegetables. Some people would maybe stop smoking knowing they are putting their lives and lungs in danger they would think about that. They would also consider their consumption of alcohol because drinking also puts a person life in danger.

For me I feel like taking time to exercise for at least fifteen minutes will make a difference in your health. the exercise can include walking, jogging, sit-ups, push-ups etc. any activity will do that can help a person with their health. Instead of watching television or talking on the phone you can exercise.That can help a person become less risky of disease they can control. If a woman make a better selection with their food choices, then they have a better chance of reducing their risk for cardiovascular disease. A woman need not to eat many fried foods and eat the recommended serving of fruits and vegetables will also help any woman to take care of themselves.

There are many challenges when they are trying to lose weight and make better food choices. For me I feel that time is a big factor that plays a role in me losing me weight. Always feeling tired and do not feel like doing anything is also a challenge that a person could face when trying to change their habits. Patience is also a major factor because, if the results are not seen fast enough then that is a chance for quitting. Over the next five years I plan to make sure that these challenges are not a problem for me to make my health better. I plan to make sure I make time to exercise daily and eat healthier.
